Perception of Urban Insecurity: A Geospatial Approach to criminological analysis.

Abstract

The objective of the study was to analyze the perception of insecurity among university students using a geospatial approach. A cross-sectional descriptive design was used with a sample of 413 students from different majors at UANL. The results showed a high concentration of perceived insecurity in areas close to public transportation, where 64.41% of the participants reported feeling insecure, in agreement with the findings of the ENVIPE. The integration of density and fear maps allowed for a detailed analysis of the factors that influence this perception within public transportation. These findings contribute to the understanding of safety in university environments and highlight the need to implement preventive strategies to improve feelings of safety.
